Alan Ritchson

Alan Ritchson is absolutely desperate to play Batman.

While the ‘Reacher’ star, 42, has insisted rumours of his casting as the Caped Crusader are false, Ritchson has emphasised he would jump at the chance at playing the DC hero.

He said: “Would I play Batman? Yes.

“Would I pay handsomely to be Batman? You wouldn't even have to pay me to be Batman.

“I would, yeah, I would don the suit.”
